I have been able to successfully pair the adapter with my Nokia 6230. I am also able to use the phone as a GPRS modem. However, I cannot figure out how to use it for file transfers. The only option I have found to transfer files from the Zaurus to the phone is to send via IR. The CellConnect adapter is listed as being Bluetooth 1.1, class 2 compliant. It supports SPP (serial port profile), DUN, and LAN profiles. I would prefer a graphical interface for transfering files, but am willing to use the command line if that\'s all that\'s available.
Another issue is with the way the Zaurus CellConnect support site (http://www.aircable.net/AIRcable/ZaurusCellTech.html) shows to set up a Dial-Up connection. When there is a WiFi card in the Zaurus, the Connection applet (the one with the globe icon) will only show WiFi presets. I know I can just eject the card through the console with cardctl eject, but it is still a small hassle. The WiFi card will also be detected again after the next power off/on cycle, neccesitating another cardctl eject each time.
Is it possible to set up the CellConnect adapter as a \"true\" bluetooth connection, instead of tricking it to connect through an IR connection? There are both PAN (TCP/IP) and Dial-Up Bluetooth settings in the Network utility that seem better suited for these purposes than the \"IR trick\". Is the CellConnect compatable with these types of connections? If so, how do I set them up?
I am using Cacko 1.21a on a c760.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Here is the response I recieved from Wireless Cables:
Unfortunately these connections you describe require the Bluetooth stack to run on the Z processor. Our module runs the stack on the module. We use the IR trick because this is close to the way our modules work.
The AIRcable Z is just a serial cable replacement. What you do on the serial line is up to you. You can do Intellisync, or PPP or send files with Z modem.
Hope that helps.

After a bit of research I found that the only profiles that the CellConnect adapter and the Nokia 6230 have in common is the Dial-Up and Serial Port profiles. I see that gnokii (http://killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=1289) may be able to fulfill my file transfer needs. However, I get a \"Couldn\'t open /home/zaurus/ .gnokiirc or /etc/gnokiirc. Exiting now...\" error when I try to run it. Help, please?
